Cut the remaining cake horizontally into 3 layers

Christmas Ideas. Part 2. Beef fillet in crust, speck & mushrooms

 Very similar to the previous recipe but with beef fillet, speck and mushrooms.
 Everything is wrapped and cooked inside a "nest" of puff pastry.
 Speck is a type of lightly smoked and aged ham (prosciutto) rubbed/massaged 
 with a mix of spices like juniper, bay leaves etc.
 This spiced cure gives speck a deeper taste that's more intense 
 than prosciutto crudo.
 It's typically made in South Tyrol and gives a unique flavor especially when paired with   
 mushrooms which with their intense aromas makes you feel
a virtual journey into a mountain chalet. Enjoy!

Ingredients : 800 gr fillet of beef , 300 gr mushrooms, 2 carrots, 200 gr thinly sliced speck, 1 rectangular puff pastry, 1 yolk / 2 tbs milk , 50 gr butter, 2 cloves of garlic, oil, salt

Method:
Turn on the oven at 180 ° C / 356 °F

1.Massage the beef fillet with salt. Let it rest for 10 min.
2.In a pan heat 50 g of butter.
3. When it is melted and hot, brown the fillet on all sides for 10 – 15 min
4. Cut the carrot into small pieces. In a large pan heat the oil with the garlic. Add mushrooms and carrot and cook for 15 minutes until they are very dry and withered ( They must not have moisture. Humidity would damage the pastry)
5. Roll out the puff pastry (without removing its baking paper)
6.Cover the pastry with the speck
7.Cover completely with a generous layer of mushrooms
8.Position above the fillet steak
9.Close the dough around the meat by pulling up the baking paper.
10.Make the dough adhere (with your hands and a fork) well.
11.Transfer the fillet to the pan, brush with the yolk and milk mix.

Bake for 45 min at 180 ° C Remove from the oven, let it rest for 15 – 20 minutes, cut it into slices.
Serve with polenta or mashed potatoes

Polenta: For this recipe has been used “instant” polenta Valsugana typical of northen Italy. Cooking takes only 8 min. As an alternative to polenta, the fillet can be served – and is delicious too – with mashed potatoes.

POLENTA. For 2 persons: 180 gr instant polenta, 900 ml water. Bring the water to boil. Add polenta and a pinch of salt. With a whisk mix costantly to prevent lumps formation. Cook on low heat for 8 min.

Ideas for Christmas. Part 1. Turkey leg in crust

This crusted turkey recipe also called “Wellington” is the ideal alternative to the usual Christmas roast. The wrapping of puff pastry is usual in Christmas recipes; symbolizes the swaddling clothes of the infant Jesus. In fact, it is very often used to prepare them right in the Christmas period.

Ingredients (for 2 persons):
1 turkey leg ~ boneless~ (800 gr) – 60 ml extra virgin olive oil – 300 ml white wine – 2 cloves of garlic – 2- 3 sage leaves – Salt 2 pinches

2 rolls of puff pastry
1 yolk + 2 tablespoons of milk

Method: Preheat the oven 180°C / 392° F

1. In a pan or in a large pot, heat the oil, add the garlic and the sage leaves.

2. Add the turkey leg. Brown it evenly on both sides for 10 min

3. Add the white wine and the salt.
Cover with a lid. Cook over low heat for 45 min

4. Check the cooking with a long skewer stick. When the turkey is ready, a clear/ transparent and diaphanous liquid will come out. (Pink liquid means it’s still raw in depth)

When it’s ready, remove it from the heat, let it cool completely and dry the meat well with kitchen paper

5. Coat the turkey (cold and dried) with the whole pastry

6. Pierce with a fork on both sides to prevent the pastry from swelling during cooking

7. Cut the second sheet into strips and form the classic grid for tarts. (Photo gallery below)

8. Coat the turkey with the pastry grid, sealing the edges tightly at the back side of the leg.

9. Brush the pastry with 1 beaten egg yolk together with 2 tablespoons of milk 10.

Bake in a preheated oven at 200 ° C for 20 – 25 min until the pastry is golden. Serve with roasted baby potatoes.

Recommended wine: In general, a medium-bodied red wine is the pergect choice, especially if you space between Barbera and Merlot, two different worlds but both perfectly matched to baked turkey.

Christopsomo /Christ’s Bread

“Christopsomo” in Greek means “Christ’s Bread” and this is why the bread is decorated with a cross. Christopsomo is considered very sacred bread in Greece and is usually prepared the day before Christmas and is served at the Christmas table.

According to the tradition, it has a cross made out of dough in the center and it has whole walnuts, almonds, raisin in it, that represent abundance. It also has other sacred shapes made out of dough which portray animals, members of a family, babies, grapes (a frequent symbol in Christianity and New Testament who represents the abudance), fruits, stacks of wheat (it represents a good harvest), flowers, crosses, a sun (represent life and strenght) leaves (the number of leaves represent the number of family members).

In some parts of Greece, where farming has always been a major occupation, Christopsomo is adorned with dough likenesses of specific farm tools, plows, ears of corn, sheaths of wheat, mules, horses, sheeps, shepherds and more. Everyone decorates it with the symbols that best represent it.

They are almost universally round, the circle a symbol of eternity, or, alternatively, cross-shaped.

**Merry Christmas to everyone**

INGREDIENTS:

For the dough:

550-600 ml water, at room temperature
18 g yeast
120 g granulated sugar
50 g olive oil, +extra 10g for brushing bowl
1 kilo hard flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
10 g salt
30 g anise
100 g walnuts

To decorate

120 g water, lukewarm
20 g olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
250 g all-purpose flour
1 walnut, whole
1 egg white, lightly beaten for brushing

For the glaze:

50 g honey
20 g brandy or 20gr water

METHOD:

For the dough

In a mixer’s bowl add a part of the water (550 g), the yeast and sugar.
Mix with a hand whisk until the yeast dissolves completely and it becomes activated.
Add the olive oil, flour and cinnamon. Beat with the hook attachment on medium speed for about 5-8 minutes, until all of the ingredients are completely combined start coming together to form a dough.
If the dough is too thick, you can add the remaining water if needed.
In a separate bowl, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the dough.
Cover with a kitchen towel and set aside for 1 hour, until it doubles in size.

To decorate:

Prepare the dough for the decoration of Christopsomo, so add the water, olive oil, flour and salt in the mixer’s bowl or you can simply use a bowl and your hands. Mix until the dough is smooth. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and set aside for 15 minutes to rest.

For the Christopsomo

Deflate the dough lightly with your fingers and shape into a round loaf.

Add the salt, anise and walnuts. Beat for 1 minute, just to combine. They are not added from the start so that they don’t get crushed inside the dough.

Butter a round baking pan (28-30 cm) and line with parchment paper. Transfer the dough into the baking pan and spread lightly. Brush the top lightly with some beaten egg white and water.

Remove the plastic wrap from the decorating dough and cut it into 6 pieces. Shape each piece into a long rope. Then form 2 braids. Place the 2 braids over the Christopsomo and shape a cross. Place the whole walnut in the center. Cover the dough with a towel and wait for the dough to rise for 1 hour. (see also the preparation photos below)
Preheat the oven to 180C / 350F Fan and bake for 50 minutes, until the Christopsomo is nicely coloured and cooked through.
When the bread is almost ready, prepare the glaze by combining the honey and cognac thoroughly. When ready, remove from oven and immediately brush the glaze over the Christmas Bread.
